Ten days left
So, in ten days I get on a plane with a couple suitcases of clothing and personal effects and head over to Berlin, where I shall be spending the next year or three. It still doesn't seem quite real.

I've started looking at apartments and just culled about half my wardrobe and I'm wrapping up my work on projects with people here. Uwe will come back to Milwaukee after a week of apartment-hunting, so I don't need to worry about forgetting important things - he can ship things or bring them along in a couple months when he moves. But I still don't feel ready.

Been doing some goodbye hanging out with Milwaukee friends. Speaking of which, for those of you in Milwaukee who I haven't managed to contact - I'm having a goodbye party next Saturday (the 4th), and you are invited! I don't have the location quite sorted out (maybe Nick's place?) so let me know if you're interested in coming.
